This American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) text provides an excellent overview for any healthcare professionals working with critically ill patients. The majority of contributors work in clinical roles in critical care and they are able to provide the important practical components. The text has taken the expanding use of procedures into consideration with this edition and incorporated the many new devices and technologies that we now see and use in acute care settings including for example; arterial catheter insertion, ECMO, oesophageal cardiac output monitoring and thoracentesis.
